Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour broke records, grossing over $2 billion, with Swift’s US leg bringing in $1.04 billion and international stops adding another $1.15 billion. The tour, which spanned 149 shows across five continents, concluded in December 2024 and surpassed Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour in revenue.
Despite this achievement, Swift, with a net worth of $1.3 billion, isn’t the wealthiest musician. That title goes to Jay-Z, who boasts a $2 billion empire. His wealth stems from various ventures outside of music, including investments in Uber, SpaceX, and his sports agency, Roc Nation Sports.
Additionally, Jay-Z earned significant returns from his stake in the champagne brand Armand de Brignac and the sale of his Tidal music streaming service. This diversified business approach has cemented his place as the richest musician in the world.
